[Q] Play Store not working - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So I just flashed the Darkside ICS ROM to my phone and now I am unable to go in to the Play Store, I was able to do it earlier. I think it might have happened when Ti Backup asked me if I wanted to restore my device's old ID #. Anyway to fix this?

Maybe delete and dl the store apk again

Uninstall TI completely and re-install it, when it asks to restore your old ID then tell it yes, it should reboot and fix it.

I just used Root Explore to delete the Play Store apk and reinstalled it with the latest version, problem fixed. Thanks Guys

Probably a bad download/flash. Do a factory data reset and install a freshly downloaded ROM file. If it works OK then redownload apps from the market.

Thank you.
I will try that. will that remove root or anything?
I can load my info back up with my titanium.... right?
After a few tries, it worked!! thank you.
FYI -
The problem was something in my titanium back up info. I was successful after I deselected anything having to do with the phone app (there are 4-5 apps associated with it) and now works like a charm! YAY
I was inspired to pay for the PRO Titanium after the 2nd backup restore! LOL
I'm having a similar issue except it's with the Google Play Store, I was able download Titanium but after that I haven't been able to get back into the store, only getting FC. I also tried going to the Play Store site and downloading it but it says it's not compatible with my device. Is my only option to reflash Clean GB?
Thanks in advance.

I think we should have a sticky post or at least added into one of the mega posts that people should freeze apps for a while before deleting them instead of doing it permanently the first time round.
Flashing isn't so bad. I think you can flash without losing data.

Am I correct in assuming what you meant to advise him is to first take a Nandroid of his current setup. Then flash the FTF, install CWM again and then use advanced restore to restore everything except system.
So... You uninstalled an apk to uninstall apk's?

Google Play Store Force Closes

Hello everyone, i hope this is the right place to post this.
Here is my issue, its prob easily fixed but im just unsure of how to do it. I was messing around with some inverted apps. Google Play Store was one of them. It wouldnt work, and the store kept force closing.
If i reinstall the vending.apk file, it installs over what i have and works fine...untill i restart my phone. After restarting, first thing i get " Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped"
Can anyone shed some light on how i could fix this? It works perfectly fine until i restart my device.
Try clearing data and fixing permission

I just cleared data settings. Fixing permissions in CWM right now.
Will update when finished.
EDIT : Nothings different. First thing that happens after reboot is the force close error.
Bump. Can anyone help?
google store force close
I had the same problem! Are you doing the copy/paste method? Then I kept trying different things, then I figured out you can use file manager program to install it, and it seems to work fine. Try that maybe

or- maybe not- just force closed on me again!
same thing happens to me, on JW4 and as soon as I download an app, force close. Tried everything, older versions, modified versions, clear cache, fix permissions. I can download install from other markets no problem. Everything else works .. I'd hate to do a factory reset. Ideas??
FIX! You must be rooted. Uninstall play store, then using a root explorer paste vending.apk in system/app, then reboot. You can also use the mod vending.apk, it'll work. I had moved apk using titanium backup into my system rom, then when I did the most recent update it all went to hell, force close every time I tried to download an app. By doing the above it installs it outside of the rom and it worked. Hope it helps!!!

You don't have to install another Rom. 1st to a search for a mod playstore multidpi .. manage apps and clear data on playstore .. then with root explorer go to system/app check name .. vending or phonesky .. rename your mod playstore to same paste in system and set permissions to rw-r--r-- .. move paste overwrite into system/app reboot

Well I finally fixed it…. “Google Play has stopped working …” error in my S3
Previously when I rooted my S3 and installed Titanium Backup, I had changed Google Play from a System app to a User app… fail. Nooo it don’t like it. Tried alot of stuff to get it back working
Just undid it, changed Google Play back from User app to a System app and viola!! :laugh:

Well, it may not be the reason for issue. I also made it user app but there was no issue untill once i stopped when some app was getting downloaded.
I tried every thing like restoring from Titanium backup, cleanig cache,cleaning data for google play store and google play services but no luck. Finally it got resolved when i flashed gapps after deleting google account. Then after flashing gapps when i created new acount a d then install apk it worked.
Hope this will help.

App2zip

So I decided to switch ROMs today and used app2zip to restore my apps after flashing I am on dirty AOKP BTW and it is great but any way app2zip will all of a sudden not restore any of my paid apps from the market and when I try to install them from the market myself I get this error... Any ideas of what I can do tried wiping play store data and nothing any suggestions are appreciated

Just a guess, you flashed the a2z right after you flash rom and gapps. You might want to try booting up, signing into your gmail account, then flashing in your a2z zip. I haven't used that in a while, but I think I had this same issue.
If that doesn't work try clear data/cache for Google Play Services.

This is exactly what had happened to me. You fix this by going to data/data then find the folder called scd.app2zip. Delete that folder. Then reboot. Reinstall the app and it should work

Hyperdrive rom Google search crash

I just installed Hyperdrive rls14 and Google search crashes every time I try to use it.
I've rebooted, reflashed the rom, clean flash, wiped everything, removed Google search with Rom toolbox and reinstalled it fresh from the Play store. Nothing seems to work.
I love the rom, and want to keep it. I use Googe now a ton though, so I'm stuck here.
Google search is a system app so if you use rom toolbox it will not delete it from the system. Using a root explorer go into system apps and delete it. Reboot, this reboot is very important to do. After rebooting the phone go back in using root explorer make sure it's still gone. Then redownload from play store and install.

That didn't do it, either. (I did learn something though,s o thanks
I just noticed that S Voice doesn't work, either. Since Google search uses voice recognition also, could it be an issue with that?
Did you check the MD5 Checksum of the Rom before Flashing ? I would suggest downloading the Rom again. Check the MD5 Checksum to verify a good DL. The Full Wipe, and Flash.

I am having the same issue. Have you figured out anything yet?
I am also having the same issue. I removed it from titanium backup and also root explorer. Nothing works. Also if I reboot the phone by using the power button it boots up but shows the nexus symbol. If I turn the phone sideways I can see half the screen. Any ideas?

You may be missing chaton or chaton v. I installed this app from the market, S-Voice calls on this app to work. You still needs to follow all the steps listed above to remove google now with a root browser. I used rom toolbox pro and that did the trick for me.
